AT&T will start selling Kindle 3G e-reader in its retail stores from March 6th

AT&T is adding the first e-reader to its catalog of connected devices and, unsurprisingly, it's the 3G version of Amazon's latest-generation Kindle. There's nothing peculiar about this agreement, the 3G Kindle will cost $189, the same as it does on Amazon's online portal, and there are no special content or add-on deals in place. It's just another locale where you'll be able to "test drive" and purchase Amazon's all-time best-selling product. Stock should be arriving shortly for a March 6th launch, though if you're looking for the WiFi-only Kindle, you'll have to look elsewhere, AT&T will only be selling the 3G-equipped 6-incher.

Best Buy's Buy Back Program Is Unsurprisingly Not a Good Deal [Blips]

If for some reason you thought Best Buy Buy Back—a trade-in program in which you pay Best Buy up front for the guarantee that they'll buy back your gear for a pittance down the line—was a profitable way to get rid of your old gadgets, let Digital Trends disabuse you. They ran the numbers and found that you're potentially losing hundreds by selling your gadgets to the retailer instead of flipping them online. Sure, taking an old gadget back to a Best Buy is easier than putting an ad up on Craigslist, and yes, keeping gadgets out of landfills is a noble aim, but asking people to pay $60 or $70 bucks up front just to opt-in to a program that some presumably won't even cash in on later seems a bit scummy.
